Parliament on the status of the implementation of the Bougainville Peace Agreement and the Referendum, which was delivered by bipartisan committee chairman and Bougainville Regional MP, Joe Lera.<br /><br />According to the statement, the bipartisan committee has recommended that a timeline be developed for the drawdown of the powers yet to be handed over to Bougainville.<br /><br />It called for the establishment of a joint inter-government body to monitor the drawdown of the remaining powers as per the timeline that would be developed.<br /><br />The report also recommended that the national government and the ABG should develop a comprehensive post referendum plan on the future political status scenarios that Bougainville would be faced with.<br /><br />It called on both governments to develop plans for political status scenarios such as higher autonomy, independence and the federal statehood concept.<br /><br />According to the report, the national government and the ABG should also prioritise and address serious human resource capacity issues affecting the ABG administration to ensure the ABG has the capacity to effect the drawdown of remaining powers.<br /><br />Another recommendation contained in the report, called on both governments to strengthen the inter-government relationship between the two with the restructuring of the National Coordination Office on Bougainville Affairs.<br /><br />The report also recommended for both governments to establish the Bougainville Fiscal Commission, which will be manned by independent experts to review the fiscal regime of the ABG.<br /><br />Meanwhile, a Parliamentary Partnership Agreement has been formalised between the National Parliament and the Bougainville House of Representatives.<br /><br />The agreement was signed by National Parliament Speaker, Job Pomat and his counterpart, Speaker of the Bougainville House of Representatives, Simon Pentanu at Parliament House last week.<br /><br />Both speakers acknowledged the importance of the Parliamentary Partnership Agreement which promotes collaboration, cooperation and mutual understanding between the National Parliament and the Bougainville House of Representatives.<br /><br />They said in a joint statement that the agreement comes about at a crucial time especially as the upcoming referendum would require both parliaments to make decisions on the future political status of Bougainville.<br /><br />SOURCE: POST COURIER/PACNEWShttps://www.onepng.com/2019/09/review-autonomous-bougainville.htmlnoreply@blogger.com

installed to ensure the vehicles are used for policing purposes and not misused, says the country's Police Minister Bryan Kramer.<br />He made the statement after Chimbu Governor Michael Dua asked why police were using hired cars instead of purchasing police vehicles.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IIbruBNGa68/XWeuK6l0E_I/AAAAAAAAu0U/7kCl90bZvy4rgqzhqDgLjJkJ00eFYVw6gCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/PNG%2Bpolice.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IIbruBNGa68/XWeuK6l0E_I/AAAAAAAAu0U/7kCl90bZvy4rgqzhqDgLjJkJ00eFYVw6gCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/PNG%2Bpolice.jpg" /></a><br />Dua said that police seemed to have so much money that they were always hiring vehicles when provincial police had none available.<br />“This is causing a lot of social issues as some fake policemen are also using hired cars to go and disturb communities, pretending to be policemen,” he said<br />“Police must purchase and use marked police vehicles and stop hiring cars.”<br />Kramer thanked Dua for raising the issue, saying that an investigation would be carried out into the hired vehicles that were used by police in recent years.<br />“I have already assigned the acting police commissioner Francis Tokura and the police administration to look into the records of all hired cars used by the police over the recent years to establish where the money went and what was the agreement for police to use hired vehicles.”<br />Kramer also assured Parliament that GPS and cameras would be installed in the vehicles to ensure they were used for policing purposes.<br />He told Parliament that the Australian government had committed US$135 million (K458mil) to help train police officers and that a report on “True cost of policing in PNG” is also being prepared.<br />“Japan, Korea and China have also offered to help police, so we are looking at improving policing in the country and will start with installing GPS and cameras in police vehicles.”<br /><br />Next :<br /><h2 class="post-title entry-title" style="border-bottom: none;

In August the company completed a 5,610 NM (i.e., 10,389 KM) and 44-day ocean towage project of a large barge (128 M x 36 M) between Micronesia and Indonesia.&nbsp; The project also incorporated a detour to Rabaul on the way home to tow a stranded tanker to Port Moresby for repairs.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PH36I_ME_DM/XWeqxtxVpLI/AAAAAAAAu0I/e6OfnjjIIfAr1_Otj-GJsHvFaQDYDWFNACK4BGAYYCw/s1600/PacTow%2BTug%2Band%2BBarge.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PH36I_ME_DM/XWeqxtxVpLI/AAAAAAAAu0I/e6OfnjjIIfAr1_Otj-GJsHvFaQDYDWFNACK4BGAYYCw/s640/PacTow%2BTug%2Band%2BBarge.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Pacific Towing’s tug ‘Vulcan’ with its 100 percent PNG crew completed the towage project.&nbsp; The Vulcan chartered a circuitous route overall.&nbsp; After leaving Port Moresby the Vulcan travelled first to Micronesia’s Chuuk Islands to clear customs, then to Satawan Atoll to retrieve the barge.&nbsp;<br />Captain Jethro Lumbuk says the tug and its crew negotiated narrow channels and atoll entry points with the cumbersome barge at the Micronesia stage of the project.&nbsp; “People were cheering and obviously impressed when they saw us towing the barge back in to the harbour” recalls Lumbuk. “I don’t think anyone there had seen a tug the Vulcan’s size pulling such a large vessel before and local authorities were relieved to have it removed from the atoll before it could do further damage.”<br />The Vulcan and its crew left Micronesia for Indonesia with the barge on 6 July and encountered severe weather that was experienced by much of the Pacific.&nbsp; “It was really, really rough” recalls Chief Engineer Michael Taweg.&nbsp; “When the conditions are that bad, you’re grateful for rigorous maintenance programs and the calibre of the crew around you.”&nbsp; Even, the least experienced of the Vulcan’s crew, Deck Cadet Emmanuel Simoi, had plenty of seatime having worked on maritime projects in Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and Singapore.&nbsp; Despite the challenges posed by the weather, Taweg reports that the impressive seamanship of the crew kept the barge out of any real danger and they safely arrived in Bitung Indonesia on 23 July.<br />Operations Manager, Gerard Kasnari, explains how Pacific Towing was originally contracted to salvage, not tow, the Indonesian-owned barge at the centre of the project.&nbsp; “The barge had run aground on an atoll not far from Chuuk and Singapore marine consultants and brokers, ALC, approached Pacific towing to salvage the vessel.&nbsp; The contract was signed and we were about to mobilise but big seas from a cyclone actually re-floated the barge so we ended up with a towage contract instead.&nbsp; The brokers must have been pleased that we were able to literally switch from ‘salvage mode’ to ‘towage mode’ and hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved.”<br />Pacific Towing is increasingly finding itself leading or partnering in complex marine projects throughout Oceania and South East Asia.&nbsp; General Manager, Neil Papenfus, describes the Micronesia-Indonesia towage project as not just having a level of technical complexity – largely due to weather conditions and remoteness – but also project management complexity, especially since it involved so many different parties operating from multiple countries.&nbsp; Although he acknowledges Pacific Towing’s key role in the project’s success, he is quick to give credit to the port authorities in both Micronesia and Indonesia, as well as to the pilots and shipping agent, Transco, in Micronesia and ALC Consulting Services in Singapore who coordinated the project.&nbsp; “Our project partners have been exceptional to&nbsp; work with and we look forward to collaborating with them on new projects throughout Oceania and South East Asia” says Papenfus.<br />Papenfus attributes Pacific Towing’s growing popularity as a marine services provider in Oceania and South East Asia to a number of factors.&nbsp; “Our tugs are crewed by expert mariners who have exceptional knowledge of the waterways.&nbsp; They know how to navigate out of, and away from, dangerous situations without having to sever towage ropes and sacrifice the vessels they tow.&nbsp; In fact, in 42 years we’ve never had to abandon a vessel.&nbsp; We’re also gaining a reputation for our capacity to problem solve, think outside the box and change tack when necessary, as was evident in Micronesia when the nature of the project completely changed.&nbsp; Our marine engineers also possess an uncanny ability to design, engineer and implement solutions which means that our clients have fewer contractors to deal with on their projects; an obvious bonus as this reduces costs and the complexity of managing the project.”&nbsp;<br />To learn more about Pacific Towing:&nbsp;

My last day will be today.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GC_tccV4EZM/XWeWzRjjsSI/AAAAAAAAuzk/iGEvORl5hdoGXfeHxwNQKch2aD-tOorxQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/PNG%2BPower%2BCEO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GC_tccV4EZM/XWeWzRjjsSI/AAAAAAAAuzk/iGEvORl5hdoGXfeHxwNQKch2aD-tOorxQCK4BGAYYCw/s400/PNG%2BPower%2BCEO.jpg" /></a>In recent months PNG Power has suffered badly from lack of payment for electricity from our largest customer and shareholder the Government. Chief Secretary has made no secret of the fact he believes I am not fit to hold the position of MD and has increasingly made any dealings impossible including those with the proposed Dirio power station. While the bullying and intimidation has been surprising, what concerns me most is that PNG Power under my leadership has been unable to achieve dispatching power from the commissioned, low cost, clean gas fired NiuPower Power Station. As a result, our costs have remained high and we are unable to sustain the double impact of continuing higher costs due to the failure to dispatch from NiuPower and Government not paying its way for electricity.<br /><br />I have made a very hard but strategic decision to stand down in the hope it allows relations between PNG Power and our shareholder to normalise and thus allow the reform of our company to continue. We have made great progress to date and it is selfish of me to remain just because I love my job.<br /><br />I have thoroughly enjoyed my 18 months as your leader and will remain forever your number one fan. You have proven that when good people put their heads together, treat each other with care and respect and work hard anything is possible. A change of the scale we have underway requires strong leadership from the Board and Management but it also requires collaboration and genuine intent from all of you, our customers, development partners, financiers and suppliers. We have that. You are all trusted to deliver. I am very proud of each little and large effort you have made as individuals and teams to make PNG Power a better company.<br /><br />The future is even brighter and yes I am very sad that I will not be with you every day driving to achieve these goals but I am also confident I am not needed. The path is clear for our company to be Safe, Reliable and Financially Viable. Sticking to the Least Cost Power Development Plan is omni-important. I have included a draft press release I intended to publish tomorrow but will now leave to the management team to decide when the time is right. It sets out the LCDP and the goals of the reform agenda.<br /><br />Thank you for your dedication to everything I have asked of you. Thank you for taking me in as family and allowing me the greatest joy of my life to be part of Team PNG Power. I shall forever now be a pawa meri with pride.<br /><br />Please support your EXCO. They are some of the finest men I know. Sam with the Board under the leadership of Chairman Nupiri. Great business people who all care deeply about you and PNG Power. Please give them your full support.<br /><br />Chairman Nupiri who I did not know before May last year, has become a trusted advisor. He has unquestioned integrity and the courage to navigate our path forward. I have really enjoyed our discussions even though where we have disagreed. Young men and women of PNG Power please model yourselves on people like Peter Nupiri. We need thousands not one or two to move PNG forward.<br /><br />Continue to respect each other. Make sure the centres outside of Moresby are given more than their fair share of attention and resources. They do it harder and deserve our extra support.<br /><br />Please keep in touch. I would love to hear of your challenges and successes and of course help in any way you think I can. My personal email is cazblacklock@gmail.com and my mobile will remain 76207117 and my Australian number +61456786782<br /><br />Chairman will announce a new acting MD tomorrow morning following a Board meeting.<br /><br />With a sad heart but hope for the future of PNG Power and our country, I say farewell.<br /><br />May God bless you all.<br /><br />Carolyn.<br /><br />Next :&nbsp;<a href="https://www.onepng.com/2019/08/coral-sea-cable-lands-in-sydney.html" style="color: #333333;
